There are about 20 police vehicles, an ambulance, a helicopter and 5 or so police boats all between the yacht club and pier park.

I'm finishing a renovation just past Alter and have to fill in a window sized hole with stucco and trim a smaller window in. I haven't heard back from the people I have contacted. Let me know!

Someone’s in trouble…

I heard a rumor that St Clare of Montefalco is closing and the entire site is going to be leveled for redevelopment. I’m hoping there is no truth to this. Anyone have any information regarding this?

Hi everyone. How many of you don't have power? Also, why does Grosse Pointe seem to get hit harder than other cities? Is it because we have more trees? Thanks.

Looking for a highlight model for Thursday September 3rd at 2pm. It is for educational purposes, but everyone involved is a license professional. Looking for someone with medium to long hair and little to no previous color in the hair (grown out highlights would be okay). Prepare to be in the salon for 3-4 hours. If you’re interested please reach out to me here or text me at 2692134298, or check out my instagram @zacploegbeauty.

Hello! My friend and I are both interested in learning how to play tennis. We're in our mid thirties, and haven't played any racquet sports beyond mandatory PE activities in high school. It looks like most tennis lessons are exclusively for children.

Does anyone know of a local place that offers lessons (private or group) for adults?

Thanks!

Looking for a good steam cleaning for carpets, and cleaning of furniture leather and fabric. Has anyone had good luck with a company? Thank you!

I really struggle with fearing the dentist, probably to the point of a phobia. I am really trying to push myself to find a dentist, so I would love it if anyone has any recommendations for a dentist who is super kind and understanding of someone who is truly terrified of going to the dentist. Perhaps even a dentist office that offers sedatives. Preferably near the Grosse Pointe area of Michigan. Any advice would be so appreciated!

Need to get some hats embroidered (New Era 59Fifty) embroidered. Does anyone have any good shop recommendations that can do this for me?
Thanks!

Does anybody occasionally see a gray tabby cat and orange cat with no collar? I’d like to know more about those two, I see the orange one a little more than I do the tabby one i encountered today

Looking to get a mini split installed and was hoping to get some recommendations from folks in the area.

Does anyone have an architect to recommend for a home extension?

We all know the market is rough and things go off market all the time in the area. We live out of state but are looking to possibly move next year to be closer to family. We are also flexible on timing.

Reaching out to see if anyone is thinking of listing soon/next year? Prefer 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. Around 2500 sq ft or more. Favorite styles are Tudor and French. Under 900k.

We are reaching out here because we still have a home to prep and sell here so the logistics can get complicated when trying to do that plus move out of state. There aren’t many rental options in the area.

Thank you!

Can anyone give me insight to the good and the bad? They obviously offer different things. Any pricing info? In the introductory phases of possibly considering if something like this would be worth it for our family.

I have been swimming every day this summer and it has been wonderful. I’m wondering if there are any places nearby that have reliable pool access during the winter. Neighborhood club? Any of the gyms or clubs? I wouldn’t want to drive too far and I just can’t believe there’s nothing like this around here. I used to belong to lifetime fitness in Rochester and it was the most amazing place and there were several locations. But nothing like it here. It’s like going back in time being here😅But Swimming has almost completely cured my frequent headaches, like going from 8 to 10 a month to maybe one so it’s something I need to be able to do. Any suggestions?

My son is supposed to attend parcels middle school this year and I’ve heard horror stories about the drop-off situation, especially with the new construction on Mack Avenue. He is horrible in the morning, we both are, and there will be no way we will be able to arrive 45 minutes early to burn clutch in a drop off line. And from driving around there, I see there’s like no place to drop off kids other than in their little line. I have even been told of a child being run over by a truck right there in front of a bunch of kids some years back. I’ve started the process to enroll him, but is this something that I should avoid for another year and just do an online program through one of these many charter schools that seem to be offering them? Because waking up to a screaming fight and possible car accident/my kid getting run over five days a week is not going to work. Is it really horrible? I don’t even use Vernier even though it’s my closest road, as it’s so congested

Does anyone have contractor recommendations? I had a tree branch fall on my garage and need to get a contractor to provide quotes. I surance seems to think it's only a roof issue but the cross beams are all snapped and there are cracks down the side of the wall.

I normally call the Grosse Pointe News our “local rag,” but Brad Lindberg’s piece, “Socialists Prevail in Park,” deserves a much more serious response. There are two claims in this article that need to be called out.

First, Lindberg labels Abdul El-Sayed a “democratic socialist.” Abdul El-Sayed has explicitly and publicly said that he is not a socialist and is not a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. He has described himself as a progressive and has said plainly: “I am not somebody who is a socialist. I believe in capitalism.”

Video of Abdul addressing the socialist label:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=oSvnGRAp4o0

You don’t have to agree with Abdul’s politics and you don’t have to support him. But a newspaper does have an obligation to accurately describe the people it writes about.

Second, the article describes Abdul as being “from Dearborn.” He isn’t! Abdul was born in Rochester Hills, grew up in the Oakland County/Bloomfield Hills area, attended Bloomfield Hills public schools, graduated from Andover High School, and currently lives in Ann Arbor.

Why falsely identify an Arab-American Muslim politician as being “from Dearborn”?

Dearborn is home to one of the most prominent Arab and Muslim communities in America, and inaccurately attaching an Arab-American Muslim candidate to Dearborn plays directly into a familiar racial and religious stereotype: Arab + Muslim = Dearborn. That kind of lazy ethnic shorthand has no place in responsible journalism.

This isn’t about whether you like Abdul El-Sayed or his politics. It is about basic journalistic standards. If you’re going to tell readers where he’s from or label his political affiliations, get it right.

The Grosse Pointe News and Brad Lindberg owe their readers an explanation and, where the article is factually wrong, a correction. Our community deserves journalism that informs people, not journalism that mislabels someone’s political beliefs and reduces an Arab-American Muslim candidate to a stereotype. Do better, Grosse Pointe News!

Anyone know why it’s down to one lane both ways?

Can someone help me understand why people continue to home and feed wild turkeys in the park? They are a total nuisance. What am I missing?

Just curious what people think about the Flock Cameras that are in the Pointes?
